Brain Dead

[WOLF1028]

This quest is MAJORLY bugged. I've scoured the inter-webs and it appears everyone is having trouble with BRAIN DEAD, but not my problem.

Maxwell lets me in, but when I get to the scene of the crime, I'm told to follow Maxwell to the scene of the crime (after he already tells me to go to the crime). He does NOT move. Console Disable/Enable/RecycleActor does not work.

I console him into the room, but then everyone gets the "Busy individual" for all eternity. Disable/Enable gets new dialogue options, but I don't think they're in order, because you can query Keith about his conversation with Gilda. Who isn't even in the room.

Santiago says to follow him, but he does not move. It seems they're are supposed to be more dialogue options after he says "follow me," because the aiming cursor disappears.

I've tried different SetStages. Even uninstalling the entire game. They just stand there. Silent or dialogue I haven't unlocked yet.

Let's be exact. Specific. Not "I've tried different..." what exactly have you done?

Because it seems it's stuck at the initial. So Max does the intro dialog, lets you in, and wants you to go to the scene. So then just bump that you're at the scene and doing the searching part with a 'setstage <id> 350' then see after you find what you're supposed to find, it everything gets back on track.

You can always just shoot everyone and then complete the quest. They're annoying anyway.
'completequest <id>' should work.

(for either, type 'sqt' and look for DLC03_V118_Quest, although the editorID might work too, you already know this, but the next searcher might not, it's for completeness.)

You probably mucked up by using the console. Go back to a previous save. Read the fandom Wiki entries carefully. There are easy to miss steps.
